Hi.

I have an AlphaStation 200 4/166 with an ISA PCMCIA bridge, an old modem
and an ELSA WLAN PCMCIA card in it. See dmesg below. wi(4) fails to
attach the ELSA card. According to wi(4) the ELSA AirLancer MC-11 is
supported. The modem card in PCMCIA slot 0 works. So I have to ask:
Is this a problem of NetBSD 2.0G? (Source about 6 weeks old.)
Is this a problem of the wi(4) driver?
Is this a problem of port-alpha?
(I have no other machine with ISA bus to test this constellation.)
???

Also I have a Sun Ultra5 running 2.0_BETA (32 bit kernel) and a:
Texas Instruments PCI1225 PCI-CardBus Bridge (CardBus bridge, revision
0x01) at pci0 dev 12 function 0 not configured
Texas Instruments PCI1225 PCI-CardBus Bridge (CardBus bridge, revision
0x01) at pci0 dev 12 function 1 not configured
Unfortunately the U5 doesn't detect the CardBus bridge, neither by the
OpenFirmWare, nor by the NetBSD kernel. It looks like the card isn't
pluged in at all. (The above dmesg output was taken with the
AlphaStation. Unfortunately port-alpha lacks CardBus support...)
Any ideas?
